About Anneke
Anneke Beresford is a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach to help people facing anxiety, stress and relationship strain. She works in a warm, respectful way and aims to create a space where clients feel heard. Anneke holds BACP accreditation and brings 13 years of experience to her practice.
She draws on practical methods from cognitive behavioural therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Mindfulness techniques are used to support calmer moments and reduce reactivity.
Background and approach
Motivational interviewing helps when people feel stuck or unsure about making changes. Anneke has supported people dealing with addictions, trauma and eating difficulties, and she also works with those coping with grief, sleep problems and career stress. She helps clients address intimacy and self-esteem concerns and navigates complex issues such as ADHD, bipolar and chronic health challenges.
Her practice also covers a range of relationship and family-related worries and less common focuses like sex culture and attachment problems. Sessions are tailored to each person. Anneke combines listening with practical tools and clear steps to try between meetings.
The aim is to build small, manageable changes that add up over time. Her style is straightforward and compassionate. She encourages people to set realistic goals and to work at a pace that feels right.
Anneke accepts international clients and offers several online session formats to fit different needs.
Approaches that work well online
Anneke blends a person-centred approach with cognitive behavioural techniques to help people clarify goals and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Person-centred work focuses on listening and reflecting so clients feel understood, which helps when discussing sensitive topics. CBT gives practical exercises and small actions to try between sessions, useful for anxiety, phobias and mood concerns.She also uses mindfulness to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce stress and improve sleep. Mindfulness exercises can be short and easily practised during the day, which makes them well suited to remote sessions. Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process; Anneke will discuss what you prefer and what seems to help, and then adapt methods to your goals and circumstances.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility: video calls let you use visual cues and longer conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit quick check-ins, and text messaging helps when shorter, more frequent reflection is useful. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel and let people choose formats that suit their routine.
